The wise use of tax credits holds potential for encouraging private sector insurers to write coverage in coastal areas. Tax credits for individuals who take steps to make their property more storm resistant can help. A property less likely to be severely damaged in a storm is more attractive for insuring.

If this was about which bands I would most want to see at the amphitheater, then at the top of my list would be one of two options: The Whitest Boy Alive with R or The Cinematic Orchestra with Bonobo. Both combos of bands from the other side of the ocean would have no problem filling up the space in their respective regions (Norway/Germany for the former, England for the later), but it could be a stretch to say that either could fill a 5,000 capacity in Raleigh. It a shame, because I think I would pop a blood vessel if any of these groups came this way. Especially if Erlend from The Whitest Boy Alive/Kings of Convenience did a solo DJ set to wrap the evening up.

This, according to Pascual, should most importantly be a bipartisan solution. political environment, with presidential candidates jockeying for position. But now may be a time to try to work such a deal. Pascual argues the risks of failure for such a brokered deal are minimal but the payoff for success would be huge.

A HUGE BOUQUET of puppy kisses to Gayle Ferguson of Gayle's Grooming. My dog Bailey, a 110 pound St. Bernard/Akita cross, had a small collision with a van on the street (she had escaped through an unintentionally open gate to chase another dog); the van was coming around the corner (fortunately slowly) and collided with my dog. Immediately following the accident, Bailey appeared uninjured. However in the two weeks following the accident, she exhibited signs of distress. Gayle (who also provides a doggy day care service) was "sitting" my dog one evening when I had to be away from home. Noticing the dog's distress, Gayle looked her over from head to toe, and discovered that one of her front teeth was broken. I was able to get her to Dr. Stacy Gastis at Sunrise Vet Clinic, who noticed that her lower front teeth had also been loosened. Dr. Gastis performed dental surgery, removing the broken molar and also removing the four loosened lower front teeth, so as to avoid possible future infection. Bouquets to Dr. Gastis and his clinic as well; Bailey is recovering nicely and is as frisky as ever. Enormous thanks to Gayle, who has great understanding of and compassion for all critters. I recommend her as a caregiver for anyone who needs to leave their dogs in care.Today started out great. It the last day of summer vacation, so the kids and I slept late this morning. I didn wake up until Jack, my soon to be kindergartner, climbed into bed and snuggled up next to me. I put my arm around him, and we talked about how exciting the first day of school would be. We stayed there doing nothing for a while, and I soaked up the feeling of how nice it is to lounge around lazily with your little ones. One last day of "no fuss, no rush." Tomorrow morning would be much different.

Yet, with all of these points taken into consideration, we have a president and the leaders of the Progressive faction of the Democrat Party insisting that "we can't just cut our way out of this hole" and that "it is only right we ask everyone to pay their fair share"; we have Progressive elitists at the reins of power who are seeking to divide the electorate into so called "haves" and "have nots," simply for political gain and to the detriment to the country.The existence of the "Hubble Bubble" may explain, at least in part, the differing measurements for the expansion and therefore the age of the universe. That is the assumption of a team of physicists headed by Prof. Dr. Luca Amendola from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University. In collaboration with colleagues from the Netherlands, the Heidelberg physicists developed a theoretical model that places the Milky Way inside of this type of cosmic bubble. The researchers believe the bubble can explain some of the deviations between previous measurements and the latest ones from the Planck satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA).

Richard C. Shary, a 19 year old department employee and former Eagle Scout, hoped that a misdemeanor arson conviction would keep him out of the Korean War draft. At lunchtime, he lit a string on his desk with his pipe lighter and left, figuring someone would find the smoky nuisance and put it out. But everyone else had also gone to lunch.As Sid McMath was entering the governor's office in 1949, V. O. Key wrote in the great political treatise Southern Politics that in Arkansas more than any other state the unmet needs of the people had lain ignored for a century in the endless moil of factional strife and leaderless government.
